Five for Fraturday

Happy weekend! I really wanted to sleep in this morning, but we are getting new carpet upstairs. Finally. And seeing as how the worker men wanted to move my bed, they sort of kicked me out of it. When we first moved in, we had no money so we paid for virtually NO UPGRADES whatsoever except for a door that would lead from the garage to the side yard and a fan in the half bathroom ...

Center Tuesday

It's Center Tuesday here. I just made it up. We started a new round of Centers today and I thought I'd share one with you. PLAYS! PARTNER PLAYS! I was super excited about this one because I have never been able to do Reader's Theater this early in the year due to the whole reading thing. And how we're all at different levels and the bulk of us read as a beginning first ... Read More about Center Tuesday

Roll the Dice Freebie (a new one!)

And it's not even one of my professional goals for this year. My professional goals ... Read More about Roll the Dice Freebie (a new one!)

The superintendent was going to want to know who I was and where I'd been ... Read More about Plaques and Trophies and Cubes and Stuff

Shark Week (freebie)

I'm telling you - I am acting like a math guru or something lately. And this isn't typically me. Typically, I'm all about the reading and the writing and the emotions and the singing silly songs about cheese on a string (which I made up and was quite hilarious if I do say so myself, and I'd write the lyrics down for you except I made it up so I can't remember what they were) and the ...

Dice or Die

Okay, SPOILER ALERT. I'm going to talk about Big Brother because I have to. So stop reading if you're not caught up or skip ahead to the next paragraph if you're not interested. And, if you're not interested, you should be. Nothing else is on during the summer and this is on THREE NIGHTS A WEEK. I mean, REALLY! It's a no brainer. Yay, yay, yay, A BIG OLE ...
